To my beloved sister,

Let me start off by saying how much I miss you. I miss seeing you on holidays, I miss seeing you on birthdays and I miss spending time with you. I miss being able to pick up the phone and call you, or driving a handful of hours to come and visit. I miss reminiscing about our childhood memories and being able to talk about everything and anything with you. So much has happened in the past year that I wish you could have been there for. Even though you are only a Skype call away, it’s not the same as having you here.

I also want you to know how proud I am of you. You are constantly perusing your dreams and reaching for the stars. It takes a lot of guts to move to another continent and start all over. I commend you for finding your passion and never letting go. I wish so much to be like you; brave, empowered, poised and so determined. Thank you for being a constant role model.

I am extremely jealous of your life. While I am stuck in the freezing temperatures of this college town, I am living vicariously through you. Get setting and back packing around Europe sounds so much better than exams and projects. I cannot wait to come and visit so you can show me the wonderful world you live in. I can barely contain my excitement to see where you work, where you live and where you spend you weekends. In the words of the little mermaid, I want to be part of your world.

I just wanted to let you know that I am always thinking about you and constantly missing you. I hope you are having an incredible time during this new journey in your life. Please come back and visit soon because I need you.

Will all of my heart and soul I love you,

Your little sister

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
